Usually if its too good to be true then it usually is.

He was asked loads of tricky questions on the first auction, but he fielded them all ok.
He didn't make up the "sold for £2500" bit. You can see that the bids did go up to that figure.
The two listings are not identical. The first had Tamron lenses. This one has Nikkor lenses. They are clearly two different kits. He did say in the first auction that there would be a second one, so no surprises there.
I agree that the "repossession" story is a bit dubious.
Too good to be true? What seems too good, Brian? The bidding is currently at £1,850, and there still five days to go. It's not like he's selling it for a low BIN price, when I would then agree with the "too good to be true" thing.
I believe this to be a genuine sale. I do think that he simply sold the last lot privately in order to avoid Ebay fees - you can see that the bidding reached a good price, which I think he accepted privately, then made it appear that it was not sold so that he didn't have to pay Ebay their fee.
